One thing that I appreciate about bulkloads is a carrier can see the same loads posted several times by different brokers at different rates. Without bulk loads we would not be able to see in real time what is going on. I realize everyone in this business needs to feed their family but when it's so blantly obvious I just couldn't hold my tounge anymore.

I don't feel like running my time for free or at a loss, so many are 30-50% of what is costs us owners thats not including if have to wait 1-5 hours unloaded. A friend sat at a mill for 12 hours to go 2 hour drive home and come back in 3 day when they should be able to take the load. Tie up a truck for 3 days and its a fight to get more the $100 for the 3 days.
